Flash #191

Flash crackles with electric energy at the center of Scott Kolins's dynamic cover while a winged Hawkman swings his axe overhead and a winged villain clutches a hostage amid swirling green chaos above a city skyline. The tagline "It's a Grimm World… We Just Die in It!" sets a wonderfully ominous tone for "The Brave and the Beaten," teaming the Scarlet Speedster with the Winged Wonder against what looks like a seriously dangerous threat. Geoff Johns and Kolins were delivering some of the most energetic Flash stories of 2002, and this cover makes a compelling case for diving right in.
